Falkor Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Do Thornes have their pure breed at pol for sale now then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejmum Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 deejmum what sort of set up have you got??? We have our hens in a stable(yes I know people normally keep horses in them ) We have our eglu cube inside the stable now, it used to be in the outside run. They dont really need it in there I dont think but they do tend to sleep in it. Although the new ones slept on top of it last night! There are plenty of other places for them to roost in the stable! They have a hole knocked in the back wall so thet can get out to their run. We are lucky enough to live on an ex farm, so there is still room for more.

deejmum Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Do Thornes have their pure breed at pol for sale now then? Not sure about the pure breeds the ones I got are hybrids. They had some lovely looking buff orpingtongs and cream legbars though, but I didnt dare ask if they were for sale at the mo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
